A pocket card

Good morning. Today I have a Pocket card tutorial to share with you. It’s super easy and a fun way to make a card special.

Here is what you will need:

Patterned paper (double sided is perfect for this project)

Cardstock to match

Ribbon and embellishments

Scoring tool and ruler

1.Cut your patterned paper to 8 x 8 ½ inches

2.Score the piece (along the 8 ½ inch side – so the 8 ½ inch side is at the top of your desk) at 2 ¼ and 6 ¼ inches

3.Turn the paper 90 degrees and score at 2 ½ inches.Where the score lines cross there are 2 squares that need to be cut out so the bottom can fold up.Here is what your card should look like:

4.On the top of your card you now need to cut out your triangles to make the pocket angled.Measure 2 ½ inches down the each side and draw a line from that mark to the score line.Cut out the triangle.Also, cut out the squares at the bottom too. Here are a couple of my pictures and you can also refer to the sketch if you are unsure (it is at the bottom of the post).

5.To assemble your card fold your sides in first along the score lines and glue.Make sure to only glue the sides to each other and not to the bottom.You want to make a pocket for a card
